With another 1.5 to 2 qpf for Stowe on 18z models. Heavy heavy

It’ll be interesting for sure.  

Whatever happens, the models are all showing 1.0+” QPF in 12-hrs tomorrow.  

Scalping sleet followed by pounding snow?  I’m not sure I remember the models so adamant for days on an axis of ridiculous precip.  

12-hour QPF...not storm total to go.

There is tremendous forcing. 60kts of mid level flow converging and deforming over your fanny. That looks like sleet (maybe very heavy UP for a time) going to a blizzard with falling temps. Wish we were there.

3K NAM has a 930mb low SE of the cape. Toss that model as far as you can for this event...

The difference between the NAM3km and the NAM12km/32km at 500hPa is pretty extreme. By now, you'd expect some consistency or at least a realistic simulation (from the NAM3km). I definitely agree with you... Toss the NAM3km.

I actually remember you posting about that event.  Hopefully you grab some ice tonight too.  

Big NW winds after the ice that night took down a few . There was about .4 -.5 ice. Our hilltop is good for a few micro climate ice events a year. This ones perfect example . No ice under 800 feet

Since we (sne) can't do most winter wx right this season...snow, ice, rain/flooding...maybe we can maximize our wind damage? Friday looks like a pretty damaging day, esp. SE.

I created this so the chat/obs wouldn't get lost in a sea of NNE snow prance, maple syrup tap, snowmobiling posts

I doubt they will make it up to SNH? Maybe advisory?

Yup. I've only been looking at the 12k for this system since yesterday for the NAM products. This thread from Jack Sillin yesterday is a good read on how the 3K is handling this system erroneously.

 

GA and SC getting hammered right now as well, those are some FFW covering huge areas tonight.

26.9F  (High for the day)

Light snow grains and freezing drizzle.

Just went outside and everything is coated with a thin layer of ice.  Don't know how tomorrow will play out.  I expect freezing rain transitioning to snow.  Evergreens already have snow on them from last nights 3.75" so I assume freezing rain mixing in with the snow will add to load.  Then to finish it off with a few inches of snow and wind will make for an interesting evening.  I got extra gas for the generator and heat by wood so I should be all set.  Maybe this will not be a big deal but its not too often a 970mb low passes close by.
